Bob the Builder

Here's our little Bob the Builder. Brian and I got Logan some tools and a tool bench for Christmas. The other morning Logan put the hardhat and safety glasses on and was looking out the window through his binoculars. He keep saying "Big Buck" over and over. It's just amazing the things they pick up. Brian hasn't looked out the window through the binoculars for deer in months...yet Logan knew exactly what to do with the binoculars and exactly what he should be looking for. :-)







The other night Sherri, Cody and I were folding clothes in my room while Brian and Logan were playing upstairs with Logan's tool bench. Brian comes down the stairs and says, "I'll be right back I need to run down to the shed for a second." So I don't think anything of it and continue folding clothes. Five mins later Brian comes in the house with a 2x4, some other sheets of wood, his HUGE bag of tools, cordless drill and cordless circular saw and heads up the stairs. Sherri and I just looked at each other and started laughing. Here's the conversation that followed:

Tee: Babe, what the heck are you doing with all the wood and tools?

BMeyer: Fixing Logan's tool bench.

Tee: [laughing] What's wrong with it?

BMeyer: You got a sucky tool bench, it needs some improvements.

Tee: What!?!?! The tool bench sucks?

BMeyer: Yeah it doesn't have anything for him to put nails into or screws and there's no place to hang his tools.

Tee: [still laughing] Ok, well good luck. Just don't wreck it.

BMeyer: Have some faith babe. This will be the coolest tool bench ever.

The next thing we heard was the circular saw running. Brian worked on improving the tool bench for about a half hour. It was pretty funny. I wish I had taken before pictures of the tool bench, but didn't realize at the time that it sucked. Here's some after shots of it, and I do have to say it is much better now that it's had the BMeyer makeover.





A few other quick funny stories about Logan. At the Ranch we've got those child proof door knobs on some of the doors, so that Logan can't get into our bedroom and a few other rooms in the house. The other day Brian and I were standing in the kitchen talking and Logan comes up to me and says, "broke" and hands me the child proof door knob. I'm not joking, he figured out how to get the child proof door knob off the door handle. I don't even know how to get them off. I'm sure he was just playing around with it and some how managed to get it to come off. He hasn't done it again since, but seriously!?! We're in big trouble I think. He's just so determined and seems to be able to do anything he sets his mind too. The other day he grabbed his toy needle nose pliers and was trying to open his thing of blocks that had a zip tie all the way around it, I mean seriously he's maybe seen Brian do something like that once or twice and he just knows that's what you use the tool for. I think we're really going to be in trouble soon....

The last funny story, which is sort of scary as well is the other night Logan climbed into the washing machine. The video's kind of cute cause he was having a grand old time in there, but it's also sort of scary. That could be dangerous if the door got shut or something. We'll just have to watch him like a hawk...which we already have to do because he's into everything!!! :-)
